This formula contains 78% protein from grass fed, free range lamb and 22% protein from vegetables. The Crude Protein for the overall diet is 24% minimum.

Hi, my dog is allergic to chicken and it says this lamb meal formula has chicken fat in it.

Answer by ChewyJul 06, 2020
This formula does not contain chicken protein however, it does contain chicken fat. Primarily, pets may have a sensitivity to chicken protein but don't necessarily have a reaction to chicken fat. Due to your pets specific health concern, we recommend consulting your veterinarian to see what would be the safest fit for your pets current treatment plan.

Answer by ChewyMar 26, 2019

Will this food help prevent the Struvite Crystals that lead to Bladder Stones?

Answer by ChewyApr 10, 2024
This recipe is formulated with ingredients that offer benefits of antioxidants such as a healthier immune system, urinary tract, better eyesight, and memory function. It can also help to prevent illness and act as a nutritional source of dietary fiber but it is not designed to prevent crystals.

Great taste

Dog loves the size for helping to clean her teeth. Also, this food is the only one besides those expensive fake foods that help her not get those bladder stones

My 9 1/2 year old 80lb dog had been emotionally stressed from our recent move and wasn’t eating. I got a sample of first mate and he had the entire sample after not eating for a week. I bought a big bag and he’s enjoying our new home and his new dog food.

Picky dog

It took a while for my dog to like Firstmate, just in time for the vet to discontinue it due to DCM reasons.

Only food my dog and process cleanly

My four year old lab does not have any allergy's. But for some reason his stools are loose and we couldn't figure out why. We have used some of the best dog foods

My four year old lab does not have any allergy's. But for some reason his stools are loose and we couldn't figure out why. We have used some of the best dog foods including fresh delivered food which worked great but I wanted to find something a little more affordable. This did the trick. He didn't even need to gradually change into this food. We went from previous delivered fresh food directly to this food and his stools were solid and healthy. He loves it!

Five Dogs - None would eat!

I have 3 dogs that will eat literally anything and 2 fuss budgets. It must smell good because they took a bite and either started to chew or as soon as the flavor

I have 3 dogs that will eat literally anything and 2 fuss budgets. It must smell good because they took a bite and either started to chew or as soon as the flavor hit, spit it out. I thought let me add it to their other food and see what happens.....they ate around First Mate : (. I love the ingredients and thought this would be a good fit, NOPE!
